Was watching Maple Leaf Bar Live with George Porter Jr's regular live gig this week. Papa John Gros and Russell Batiste showed up and sat in... and the roof came off the joint. Batiste has to be one of the world's greatest drummers and that ain't no lie, plus he's a bonafide character, as you can see in this clip!
